Ira was raised and educated in North Dakota, where he became a Weatherman for CBS Television. It didn’t take more than a few years of telling people it would be “cold and windy” every day for him to move on to sunnier skies…eventually. Ira’s next move was East to New York City where he spent 17 years working with celebrities and entertainment executives (and spending way too much money on rent). It was only after his mom and dad started to spend their winters in Chandler that Ira discovered AZ, and like his Snowbird parents, he flew South:) Ira immediately fell in love with the area and the lifestyle, and with the support of another successful Realtor (who happens to be his big sister), he started his career in Arizona Real Estate. Ira’s path continued when he joined Team Lehman after meeting Drew, Lacey, and Ken and being blown away by their knowledge of the industry and the local market, their respect for their clients and associates, and their incredibly organized and efficient system of doing business. He was impressed by how passionate they were about giving their clients every advantage possible, and he shared their enthusiasm for going above and beyond at every turn. It was a perfect match for Ira, for the team, and for the clients he has the pleasure of working with.
